Shaq in his horrible rap, as you all might know, dissed Kareem (sayin he was better) and Patrick Ewing.
Is Shaq( not his stats or teams, but overall his basketball talent) better than either of the two players at their peaks?

Again - this team, as currently constructed won't make it out of the second round of the playoffs, let alone the West or win the Finals.---fido on 2011 Lakers

He RAPPED again!? He better not mess with our laker center greats or he wun ever be in that mix even though with the 3 championships. He called out to George Mikan, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

He's definitely not as good as Jabbar though, since Shaq was only dominate for several seasons while Jabbar has been playing at a high level his WHOLE career and that's why he leads the NBA in overall points.

I want to hear this new rap that you're talking about because during that recent interview with ESPN he said when his career is over, he wants be considered one of the top 3 big men to ever play the game which included: Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, THEN Shaq in that order.

Whatever happened to Wilt? Sure, he may not have won as many championships as Shaq, but he's still one of the greatest big men to play the game ever.

There was no new rap, calm down. This was from the "Kobe how my [expletive] taste" rap. It wasn't just about Kobe, he covered a variety of topics. He was better than Ewing for sure. Easily. And him over Kareem is debatable.

And when Shaq was talking about being right after Russell and Jabbar he mentioned championships, and those matter most to him so that's why he's right behind them. Russell's 11 won't be matched he said but he wants to reach Jabbar's number.
